Vegas Over/Under: 31.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 30-52 The Bet: lean although Avoid under
Spoiler alert: Losing Paul George is a major deal.
Based on NBA Math’s total points included (TPA) metric, the haul–if you can call it that–brought back in return couldn’t quite match his creation during the 2016-17 season. Whereas the superstar small forward finished with 150.42 TPA, Victor Oladipo (minus-58.86 TPA) and Domantas Sabonis (minus-159.61) dropped a little short.
Obviously, the Pacers purchased within these kids for their long-term potential. They should improve throughout the 2017-18 campaign, and the same is the case of Myles Turner, who is a good bet to turn into a first-time All-Star throughout the upcoming season. This roster does have some upside down, particularly when factoring in Cory Joseph and T.J. Leaf.
But is that enough to overcome the departures of both George and C.J. Miles? Probably not, which explains exactly why a steep dropoff ought to be expected after the Pacers somehow surpassed expectations to complete with a 42-40 record .
These players will be learning in featured roles, and losses will happen quite frequently. But that’s not a thing that is terrible. Let the up-and-comers develop, maximize the potential of draft picks during the 2018 potential pageant and reap the benefits down the road.
